The Chief Executive recalled how his Executive Management Team had found It unacceptable for FHA to operate analogue without the necessary basic tools expected of an agency of its status, since 50 years of its establishment.
He attributed the lack of accurate data in the Authority to lack of such needed tools of work. He said it is unacceptable for the agency to operate without the precise knowledge of all its land boundaries and accurate number of ⁹ its houses, a situation that encourages encroachment on the Authority’s land and colossal loss of revenue.

Hon Ojo gave the assurance that with the acquisition of this high profile Drone, the Authority can be precise in all its operations ranging from planning, construction to marketing.

According the FHA Chief Executive, “with the operation of the Drone, FHA stands in a better position to know the exact number of houses in all our estates and ww will now be able to project on the revenue accruable to us”.

The Managing Director who stated that more hands would be trained on handling the equipment, was full of praises for staff whose collective efforts he said helped i. turning the agency around.

While pledging continued good leadership from the Executive Management Team, he admonished staff to remain focused and work harder for the growth of the Authority.
